Peter Stuyvesant the Second, who is hailed around these parts as Ozro, is the little Dutchman who goes over big with all the ladies. He lives away down on Plum Street in Lynchburg. CWVhat? You never heard of Lynchburg? You thought it was in Virginia? Durnblj He is known widely for his fine pool game and his ability to chew straws perched up on one of the stools in the Lynchburg Pharmacy. I-Ie has been a prominent figure around old G. M. S. for the past four years. His enormous ability to eat is the awe of all the new boys. He stands out in the fall as that fighting Colonel tackle. VVe hope he will be as successful in the cruel world as he is at goldbricking around Greenbrier. Here's to you, Ozro-you're okeh! VVILLIAM SLACK HOPPSTETTER Huntington, W. Va. Illililnry: Private, Band, 1931-33. 1llhlA'tir.r.' Colonel Football, Midget Basket Ball, 1932-33. Organizaiianr: Forensic Club, 1932-335 Philomathian Literary Society. Does he like football? YVell, if you will look at the Colonel football picture you will find Hopp, and if you will look at the Midget football picture-there he is again! He also works around the back campus with the track team. He takes life slow and easy most of the time. His face opens up for a whole-hearted grin whenever he doesn't know the answer to a question. He is a good mathematician, when he wants to be. The girls don't seem to bother him. He will get there-meaning: Wherever he wants to go. CHARLES W. IGNATIUS Cincinnati, Ohio lllilitnfy: Private, Band Section, 1929-QOQ Corporal, Band Section, 1930-319 Sergeant, Band Section, 1931-321 First Lieutenant, Band. Section. 1 u 0rga11izatio1u.' Ohio Clubg Non-Commissioned Oliicers Club, Commissioned Ofhcers Clubg Philomathian Literary Society, Orchestra, 1929-33. Illerlnlr: Scholarship, Band. Special Honor: Senior Class Orator. Is Iggy a good student? Well, the second term he made a bad grade on English IV exam, which was his lowest. A terrible grade. A shameful grade. Only 98! His favorite occupation is kidding Canter. His next favorite is shining his boots so that they resemble ebony mirrors. He is a good speaker, has personality, can be businesslike when necessary, and would make a good executive, steamship captain, bandmaster or professor. But who can tell? Maybe he will decide to be a street car conductor. If he does, we will wager he will speed up all the stiff grades on his route. FREDERICK VVILLIAM JASPER Glen jean, VV. Va.

That is, if you stop for any length of time at the one filling station where he holds his summer workout. . This is his second year here and he has six letters to his credit. He was captain of basket ball, and a good leader. He is a snappy corporal. Many military geniuses come from the ranks. Maybe if he were here a few more years he would be a captain or something. VVe thi11k so. Fred says that the dances we hold in tl1e gym at drill period are wonderful, so helpful to one's mind. It does lift a lot of weight off you when they are over. His famous last words: I don't think so. -sg 15

Joe Ellis left before Commencement, much to our sorrow, and didn't leave a write-up of his senior honors. However, we can tell you that this Virginian was an outstanding football player. Everyone who ever heard of Greenbrier's 1932 foot- ball team knows that. VVhat he did to opposing defensive players was something to write to the papers about, which is just what was done. He hails from the town where Sherwood Anderson, one of America's premier writers, is editing a couple of newspapers. Maybe Joe will end up as a novelist-or a character in a novel. WILLIAM VVRIGHT FITZSIMMONS, JR. Elizabeth, N. I. Yllilitary: Private, Company C, 1931-32: Pri- vate, Company A, First Class Private, Company A, Corporal, Company A, 1932-33.

Fitz can take it, but usually he gives it. We are referring especially to his work in the well-known squared circle. Although he wasn't here to have his picture taken with the boxers, he deserves to have it there, and we take this opportunity to say so. Fitz is a charter member of the New Joiseyn Club, as he hails from that section where they eat toikey. He is one of those good-natured Irisl1men, fun-lov- ing, with plenty of ability and a darned good wallop to use for anything, whether it be in boxing, studies, football, basket ball or social activities.

We know one of his glaring weaknesses, and that is green dresses. Ask him about Danville.

About three years ago an unknown fin these partsy boy named VVallie Kirk drifted into our dear old school. It was Walter Kirk, Jr. He was just another new keydet, but, OH! How he obtained the attention of the girls . . . If you put two and two together you get four, but when you put the parts of Wallie together you get one hundred per cent.

This fellow, hailing from the Smoky City, has left a string of records broken behind him. Nine out of ten times George is in the upper third of his classes. He speaks German as well as a stein-lifter. A hobby of his is making model aero- planes-with skill, plus weeks of work. He spends hours and hours moulding one plane into shape. Lang also draws with exceptional ability, and enjoys music. He toots a mean sax himself. He is a fine, quiet, conservative fellow except when Pitts- burgh is mentioned. Then, of course, he brags.

Everyone is ready to laugh over a good joke with Mac, and if one laughs at him--he can take it. There is that certain something in his smile that seems to single out everyone personally.
